Ross Stevenson worked as a lawyer, first at a conservative city firm, Darvall McCutcheon, and then at Slater and Gordon in Melbourne. Stevenson's radio career began in the mid-1980s on community station Triple R partnered with fellow lawyer Denis Connell on a show called Lawyers, Guns and Money, a reference from a Warren Zevon song ('Send lawyers, guns and money, the shit has hit the fan'). He has been a radio broadcaster on Melbourne 3AW since 1990.
